Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Coming Soon

[RobClock]

If you're the hoopy kinda frood who knows where his towel is, than you doubtless know that today was the 11th annual 'Towel Day', which is a silly little pseudo-event where you carry around a towel to honor the memory of Douglas Adams. I participated, but that's besides the point.

Today Hothead Games, the folks who did Deathspank, announced 'The New Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.

Details are thin but there's a website with a mailing list: http://www.thenewhitchhikersguide.com/

I'm kind of excited.

Hothead made Deathspank and Swarm, I believe they can make something great out of it. Not to mention Ron Monkey-Island-Creator-Extraordinaire Gilbert has worked with them before joining DoubleFine last year.

Nice. Hopefully more faithful than the movie was.

It appears to be some sort of actual guide.

I'm not gonna lie, as much as i wanted an actual game, thats pretty cool.
